Production Process

• Agave Source: 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the highlands near Atotonilco el Alto, Jalisco.
• Aging: A unique multi-barrel aging process:
  • 60% is aged for 2 years in French oak barrels.
  • 40% is aged for 3 years in French oak barrels.
  • The blend is then aged together for an additional year in American white oak barrels, previously used for aging either Canadian whiskey or Tennessee rye whiskey, leading to a total aging period of nearly 3 years.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: Cooked agave, oak, vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, chocolate, and subtle fruity hints of cherry.
• Palate: A rich combination of cooked agave, dark chocolate, orange zest, pecan pie, and toffee, offering a balanced experience between agave sweetness and barrel influences.
• Finish: Long, dry, and sweet, with lingering notes of oak and spice.
